The Sunday’s lunch (or dinner) in Rome Private Cooking Class

The Sunday’s lunch (or dinner) in Rome Private Cooking Class

Discover Rome’s Culinary Heritage

Step into the heart of Roman culinary culture and discover the secrets behind the dishes that make the Eternal City a world-class food destination. In this 3-hour immersive class, you won’t just watch—you will become the chef, recreating the soulful atmosphere of a traditional family Sunday lunch.

The Traditional Menu

Under expert guidance, you will learn to master the bold flavors and simple techniques of three iconic courses:

  • The First Course (Your Choice): We will dive into the “Roman Trinity” of pasta. You can choose to master the velvety creaminess of a perfect Spaghetti Carbonara, the rich and tangy Rigatoni all’Amatriciana, or a seasonal favorite: Pasta alla Gricia with crispy artichokes.

  • The Main Course: We will prepare the famous Saltimbocca alla Romana. You’ll learn the art of layering tender veal, savory prosciutto, and fresh sage to create a dish so delicious it literally “leaps in the mouth.”

  • The Dessert: We conclude on a sweet note with a true hidden gem of Roman pastry: Ricotta and Sour Cherry Tart. This classic dessert features a perfect balance between creamy ricotta and the sharp, bright flavor of wild visciole cherries.

What to Expect

This class is designed to be a social and hands-on celebration of food. After the preparation, we will gather around the table for a full tasting lunch or dinner. You will enjoy the fruits of your labor paired with local wines and great conversation—exactly how a Roman Sunday is meant to be spent.

An absolutely amazing tour! Our tour of the Roman Forum and Colosseum with Yev was one of the highlights of our trip! Yev was incredibly knowledgeable, funny, personable, and engaging. He made the history fascinating and brought everything we were seeing to life. He was also incredibly patient with all of our questions, took the time to get some great group photos, and made the entire experience feel fun and personal. What truly set Yev apart was the care he showed toward my 78-year-old nana. He was so attentive to her throughout the tour, making sure she had plenty of opportunities to take breaks and easy access to water. He never made her feel rushed or like she was holding anyone back, and that meant so much to our family. Yev went above and beyond to make sure everyone had an incredible experience. We learned so much, laughed a lot, and made memories we’ll never forget. If you’re visiting Rome and considering a tour, book with Yev — you won’t regret it! 🇮🇹❤️

Absolutely amazing! Guilia was absolutely amazing. Her wealth of knowledge was far beyond what we were expecting and it made everything we saw so much more meaningful. She was funny, kind, patient, and extremely well versed in Roman and world history. It was one of our most favorite days in Italy. Grazie mille!

An Unforgettable Evening with Sonia & Lorenz We had the absolute pleasure of having Sonia and Lorenzo come to our VRBO in Italy to prepare a special dinner celebrating my in-laws’ 50th wedding anniversary, and they made the evening truly unforgettable. From start to finish, Sonia and Lorenzo were wonderful. They were warm, professional, incredibly accommodating, and clearly passionate about what they do. The food was absolutely incredible—each course was beautifully presented, fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. It felt like we had a five-star Italian restaurant right in our own home. What made the evening especially meaningful was the care and attention they put into the experience. This was a very special milestone for our family, and Sonia and Lorenzo helped make it feel even more memorable. Everything was handled so seamlessly, allowing us to simply relax, enjoy an amazing meal, and spend time together as a family. Everyone in our group absolutely loved the experience, and having Sonia and Lorenzo cook for us was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. We cannot recommend them highly enough and would absolutely book them again the next time we are in Italy. Thank you, Sonia and Lorenzo, for helping us celebrate such a special occasion and for giving our family a memory we will always cherish! ❤️🇮🇹

Amazing experience on a hot day! Although it was 100 degrees and we didn’t think we’d make it, Yevgeniyy was professional and passionate from beginning to end. He is extremely knowledgeable and explained every single detail to kids and adults. He knew short cuts and exactly where to go. Not a second was wasted. I would 100% use him again for any trip I’m Rome!

Fascinating time with Yev Yevgen was a wonderful guide! He was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, passionate and great at engaging my 12 and 14 year olds. We especially loved the underground portion of the Colosseum (fascinating and cool on a very hot July day). Highly recommend the guided experience as we learned a ton and didn’t have to wait in lines.

Wonderful tour We requested for our tour to be in two languages (Italian and English), and they were able to accommodate our request. Matteo was amazing at switching between two languages as needed and had answers to absolutely all the questions. Definitely recommend for those who wish for a great experience.

Vatican Tour w/Tatyana Visited Vatican on a hot summer day. Our guide Tatiana was the perfect fit for that situation. She has 20 years of experience & it showed! She was able to move us through lines easily to get the tour started, knew all the shady spots to stand etc. Her love for the history of The Vatican shines through! What an incredibly passionate, knowledgable & beautiful person she is! We felt blessed to have her as our personal guide for the day!
